Mr Rooney, our builder of many talents, is licensed to remove asbestos.
And that is what he did this morning at the Sow's Ear. The fibro sheeting in the sunroom was removed in preparation for the installation of the new old windows.
Here is a pictorial of the morning:

There were remnants of old green lino which Mr Rooney discovered when he removed the fibro sheeting. Interesting to see an image of house history, now long gone in an asbestos bin somewhere.

The walls are now denuded of their old fibro lining. They will remain like that until Mr Rooney returns, which is most likely after Christmas.
After the storm |
Not long after Mr Rooney left, a massive electrical storm hit over Brisbane. The rain came in at all different directions and it became eerily dark at 1.30pm. Buster the budgie's cage was blown over and smashed during the storm, but he's okay.
You know it is a bad storm when the undercover deck is completed saturated and your budgie is blown off his perch!!
At least that storm has kept the (asbestos) dust down, Bris!
ReplyDeleteHow multitalented Mr Rooney is. Will he be thrifting the asbestos on to the Sisters...?
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh! Maybe Buster could find a job as a storm-o-meter... Poor Buster: what a shock...
ReplyDeletePoor Buster!! Is there anything that Mr Rooney doesn't do???
ReplyDeleteAsbestos. Is there a more damned product? Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that storm a corker?! I had screaming children and flying chairs ... the deaf poodle slept through it all.
Glad Buster's okay. Phew! What a day for you!
Anita, could I be so bold as to ask you to pop over to my blog and maybe support my girl power concept if this think it is a good idea? I feel such an urgency to get this started. Especially this time of year...
